I set up the camera to monitor the temperature in the Bushtracker while we visited the Nitmiluk National Park. We had breakfast at the Nitmiluk Cafe before going for a walk.
I walked up 300+ steps to the lookout, but Anita sensibly stopped halfway. The walk is described as being 900m from the Visitor Centre, but there was no advice about the elevation or nature of the climb.
There was a sign explaining the Kombolgie sandstone is the geological base for the park. Old sediment layers were compressed forming hard sandstone and conglomerate.
The views from the hike up and at the lookout were worth the effort.
Back at our caravan Blue was so excited to see us. We took him with us to the caravan park pool as the usual “No Dogs” was missing. We had the pool to ourselves and he lay in the shade happy to be with us.
Two very large dogs are staying in the park. They have been kept on leads but I limit Tilly’s walks to make sure the dogs don’t see her.
We took Bluey with us on our errands – refuelling, dump site, car wash and Woolworths to buy a cooked chook. Back in the van he sat outside his crate staring at us while we had our lunch. He devoured his bowl of chicken!
We hooked up and packed away our awning ready to leave Katherine tomorrow.
